About the SRMSAT

The School Resource Management Self-Assessment Tool (SRMSAT) helps assure governing bodies and trust boards that they are meeting the right standards to achieve a good level of financial health and resource management. By completing a simple checklist answering questions covering 6 areas of resource management, the dashboard will show how a school’s data compares to thresholds of an array of statistics identified by the Department for Education as indicators of good resource management and outcomes.
